Definitely give it a shot! It's really fun! Mine have been off since the weekend. Took the expensive stuff out, keep a towel handy, since I've been caught in the rain once so far (I knew it was going to rain, didn't care).

I love going doorless. I even relocated drivers side power switch so I only have 4 wires to hook back up when putting doors back on. Weight/Visability/Cool in the summer heat. When your ready for your doors back throw them back on. Only negative is when you go deep. You will fill the cab with what ever it is. I have done it twice. I have just left drain plugs out now lol. I even went doorless at the ORV parkithe mountains. I felt safe there too.

I plan on doing that at some point just have not gotten around to it yet. Too many other projects on it happening at the moment.

How many of you wheel doorless?


Edit.. Stupid app. I've always wondered if your b-pillar takes a beating or not. There have been times my doors have been laid into and essentially used as a skid to get through certain trails. I've always wondered how that works without your doors on.

I do! It's great to see tire placement. Just watch when your tire slips. Mine likes to hit me with rocks and mud lol
